Excerpt:

Mayor Michelle Wu  announced the Arts Action Consortium (AAC) launch, a new initiative to strengthen and sustain  Boston’s creative workforce. In collaboration with six Boston-based cultural organizations, this two-year program will offer crucial resources, including professional development, technical assistance, and career support for Boston’s artists. This initiative reflects the City’s deep commitment to fostering a vibrant arts community and building a more equitable, sustainable future for artists across the city. 

AAC is comprised of six distinguished Boston-based partner organizations: Ágora Cultural Architects, Arts and Business Council, Assets for Artists, Bloom Arts Strategy, Dunamis, and Midday Movement Series. Each of these organizations brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the collective, forming a robust network of support for Boston’s creative community. Supported by a $700,000 investment through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) from the City, this initiative reflects the Mayor’s commitment to building long-term sustainability for the creative workforce and addressing the structural barriers they face.
